Colors of dark green and gold, with

PARIS STYLE.
st O'Clock teas, which are at present
quite the thirg IN Paris, ladies wear shorc
skirts and very small mantles or jackets.
Toilets for these entertainments are OF
wooden fabrics, which are costlier than
velvet or plush. As they have the addi-
ton Of rich passementerie and embrOid-
cry, this apparently simple style of dress
is not worn for motives of economy.

This is the news from Paris: "Under-
clothing deliberately trimmed with lace is
going out of fashion. Elegautes leave
them 10 the women of the demi-monde
and ere adopting themselves models of q
pure and lady-like simplicity"
The latest wrinkle for the "high tea

sway without mercy TO show the house
gown in front.

of plain or striped surah are fastened OF
the killed shirt back of the hips, brough
over to the right side, and knotted, giving
the effect of q short tunic. The Ions
ends are gathered to point and tipped
with beaded ornaments or silk tassels.
Cuffs laundried at home fail to please
because they are ironed out fat, and
when the buttons are put in they blister
and wrinkle. This can be avoided If the
laundress only knows how to iron the
cuffs until they are perfectly dry, ant
